How about this.
Soldier gets shot dead in Iraq.
Armed forces find that if he were inside a tank at the time, he would be alive.
Therefore guns and bullets are not dangerous.
There is always a 'what if' factor in absolutely everything. Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

No, that's more like your reasoning. You say:
A guy ODs on meth. He dies. Therefore the meth couldn't have anything to do with his death.
Here's my reasoning:
A guy drives. We don't know how fast. He also eats a donut. He also snorts coke. He is diabetic. Sometime later, he dies. Conclusion - we don't know what killed him, we need to find out.
As far as we know, this guy died shortly after getting shanked. Three days before he was shanked, he was tasered. Three days before that, he was bit by a rattlesnake. Five minutes before dying, he jumped off the roof, as far as we know. To make any intelligent comment we have to wait a day or two until this information is known.
